Frogglez Swimming Goggles Review

My seven-year old son is getting swimming lessons at the local pool. He constants wants to wear goggles when in the water but always struggles when putting them on. Recently, we had the chance to try out Frogglez, an alternative pair of swimming goggles with a different approach at things.
Besides the cutesy name, the key thing that makes Frogglez different is that there is no strap for resizing the goggles. You literally just pull them over your head as demonstrated in the below video.

Therein lies the initial and only issue we had with the Frogglez. At first, I had trouble putting them on my son's head. I hadn't watched the video first, and you shouldn't need to. With that said, I handed the goggles to my son and he put them on with absolute ease.

The fancy head straps are made from wet suit material (neoprene) and are the secret to the success of the goggles. The goggles aren't resizable. Instead, they are sized to fit the typical 3-8 year old. They're snug, and definitely won't come off when swimming in the open water, but the wet suit material gives them that stretchy vibe.

Someone else got to try them on. Me. They actually fit me. And, I'm slowly getting comfortable with putting them on quickly. The goggles weren't uncomfortable to wear, but you quickly realize the colored lens. The blue strapped Frogglez have blue tinted lens, while the pink and green pairs have pink and green lens respectively.

The Frogglez are a great addition for the summer pool season. Your kids will love them. The strap stays above the ears and won't get your hair caught in it. Not only are they comfortable to wear, but they even float. And, how many kids at the pool/camp are likely to have these? Think of the cool factor, too, your kids will enjoy when they wear them.
